This course is designed for students undertaking a part-time Honours program in the School of Chemistry, usually run over four semesters.

Chemistry Honours allows students to undertake a supervised Research Project under the direction of an academic staff member in the School, where the project introduces students to research and places emphasis on advanced disciplinary knowledge. Over the course of the Honours project the student will gain experience in the use of specialised research techniques relevant to their chosen area, critical thinking, data collection and analysis, problem solving and scientific communication. Assessment tasks include the submission of a Research Thesis based on substantial independent research activity.

This course is only available to students enrolled in the School of Chemistry Honours Program, and the School’s Honours Coordinator must approve enrolment. Students undertaking Honours part-time will enrol in CHEM4512 in their second and third semesters.
